It just came out: a real waterproof case for iPod Touch. christened iDive 300it is marketed on the site H2O Audio. The "300" is for 300 feet, that is to say 90 meters deep. A pure gadget, in my humble opinion.

As far as I am concerned, I prefer to continue diving with the sound of my bubbles in my ears. : roll:

Apparently, there is a whole system embedded to handle the touch screen via buttons on the side. The earphones are attached to the mask strap. And the toy still costs nearly 350 USD ...

Good, I admit. I already have a box waterproof for my iPod, actually ... But not to dive! Mine costs only a few dozen euros and is simply used to protect moisture (and salt and sand), on a boat or at the beach, my precious iPod, which also serves as a hard drive to store my photos while traveling.

Yes, the world of silence takes a hit! However, I have already used music under water (well before the invention of the iPod!) To furnish the hours of endless landing (up to 7 hours ...) after a few dives underground ... muscular. There are currently blooming gadgets more or less waterproof. Proof that diving is democratizing. By the way, congratulations on your blog, he is "professionalizing" 😉

Long live the bubbles that sparkle in our ears. And why not take his phone? Now thinking about it, a trip with a mantas flight on a well chosen music that reminds you of good times, it can carry you even more, right? like a bird in the water. The blog better and better !!

@ Francis Le Guen: Oh, of course, for the "muscular" divers, pros and teks who have to bump endless stages, the gadget, suddenly, is not quite one. But this new box is more, I think, the followers of diving "leisure" (well, those of them who want to show off below the surface ... 8)). As for the blog, yes, it is evolving little by little towards another dimension ... 😉

@ Éric Branger: Hum! And why not SMS and emails under water? And a coffee machine, while we are there, just to wake up quietly with a little kawa watching the mantas! 😆 No, really, the music, must stay on the surface. The live mantas show does not need any sound accompaniment. Delighted that the evolution of the blog pleases you! 🙂

@ Helen: I agree! No need to worry about something extra. Which adds nothing, in my opinion, to the pleasure of diving. 😯

@ Lydie: Very just. Even if "the world of silence" is not quite silent for divers. Below the surface, there is the sound of bubbles and breathing, the "plop" of ears that "pass" (or not) on the descent, and sometimes the rumor of the surf near the coast or a reef, and even strange, shallow crackling around coral areas teeming with life. Not to mention the various alerts that can emit the others of the team ... So many sound signals that participate in the dive. Covering them with music from the "top" would be a shame. 🙄

We are calm and calm in the water thanks to the sensations, the breathing, the spectacle of the underwater fauna ... I think that the music is superfluous. And could even be stressful, coming to disturb the other sensations.

Anything big, even if it's really a beautiful zik to dress up beautiful scenes, but hey ... No better on a film once back, no? And the security? The ears are used to listen to what is happening around you, to listen to your partner also no? And shit, we isolate ourselves too. I like to share my dives, and a look is enough most of the time.
